I’m getting on a plane today and looking forward to a week away from home, even though I usually work while I’m on vacation. Wait, don’t chastise me. At least, wait ’till you finish reading the rest of this post. =)
I’m in the midst of pre-flight procedures and working on my top priority. Nope, not packing – cleaning! I’m really not obsessed with cleaning, but for years I’ve been in the habit of getting my house ready before a trip. I dust, I sweep, I mop, I vacuum, I clear the dishwasher, and I change the sheets and towels.
This is my pre-vacation ritual. Why? Because it’s so great to come home to an awesomely clean home! It’s like coming home to a hotel but without room service and the little piece of chocolate on the bed. I know it might seem strange, but I can’t help it. It’s such a GREAT feeling.
Do you do this, too? What are your pre-vacation routines? How do you organize yourself before a trip?
